Walnut stocks are solid and fit decent with an old coat of finish added now showing wear and handling marks. Features a smooth steel shotgun style buttplate. Comes with a Factory Letter showing it was manufactured in 1887 with a round barrel in 38/56, a plain trigger, Winchester Express sights, a 1/2 magazine and a Shotgun butt.
